SUMMARY

Nvidia CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang has resigned, the company’s board announced Thursday. CFO Colette Kress will act as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent successor, and longtime director Harvey C. Jones was named chair.

The resignation follows revelations of multiple affairs, including one with Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese spy, sparking independent and FBI inquiries and driving the stock to eight-month lows. The board had engaged Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate.

Jones said, “She is supported by an experienced leadership team that has been instrumental in executing NVIDIA’s strategy and advancing its technology roadmap.”
